Serious question... is shawarma popular in the US? I feel like I never hear anyone talking about it and in all of our trips to the states I've never seen a shawarma shop! It's probably one of the more popular types of fast food in Canada.

[@RebeccaABeaudoin]

As a US girly in Maine I have never even heard of shawarma

[@curleq77]

Hi Carter! I'm originally from the US (Northern California) but have lived over half my life in Calgary. Where I'm from we called them gyros. They were the exact same thing just with a different name. So the next time you're in the States and craving one just google gyro and a shop should pop up. Hope that helped. 😊 Oh, and your office turned out so cute and cozy!

[@debchaffin]

yes it’s called gyros!

[@threepistols7]

I wouldn't say so, I do know some places have it, I've never tried though.

[@hannahwright1385]

i have no idea what this is 😂😂😂

[@disneymom3519]

Stop stop stop. No apology needed. I love watching your weekends. It really helps us who are now homebody’s connect and feel normal and heard ❤

[@CarterSullivan]

This is so sweet! Love this community of homebodies❤️

[@lolarose4252]

As a fellow introvert , homebody , bookworm - you make me feel less alone. I really appreciate this.

[@CarterSullivan]

Aw love this! Love that we've built a community of introverted homebodies who love cozy hobbies!!

[@raeraemillstone]

Same ❤❤

[@Makeup-Your-Mind]

I'm enchanted with the "boring" vlogs you do. No complaints here! As you said, it's cozy and nice to see other people doing boring stuff. And I know you've said you don't like your own voice in another video, but I really enjoy it - I find it very soothing.

[@CarterSullivan]

This is so kind! I'm learning that you just can't please everyone. Some people love adventurous vlogs and people being out and about and I love that for them!! But I love watching fellow homebodies 🥰🥰

[@JordynLynnia]

I loveeeeee the finished office it’s so much more you!

[@SuperScaryAri]

It was so sweet seeing Matt in ur video, watching other happy couples in healthy relationships gives all kind of warm cozy vibes. Seeing how you guys support each other and divvy up housework is so great, and the dogs looked so sweet and cozy 😭💕

[@CarterSullivan]

@@SuperScaryAri aw love this! he's always so busy on the weekends doing things around the house that it can be hard to get him in the vlog🤣 but I am really lucky to have such a supportive and fun to be around husband❤️

[@kpatten100]

💖💖💖your "boring" vlogs are my absolute favourite ☺️ the office is stunning 💕

[@CarterSullivan]

Mine too! 🤭🤭

[@katieford473]

Ok the tiny spatulas are a baking game changer 😂 I use them to get things like yogurt and sticky ingredients out of the measuring cups. Love these chill/casual vlogs, also your eye for interior decor is just getting better and better every time you do a project!

[@CarterSullivan]

ok WAIT I never even thought of that and now I want to go back and get some hahahah

[@megancatherine9764]

Rivals is absolutely amazing. It is a blast. Acting, script, soundtrack, it is just such a fun watch. And sooooooo steamy!

[@CarterSullivan]

CANT WAIT TO WATCH IT

[@raeraemillstone]

Ok was looking for this comment ❤

[@rahrahROTTEN]

Awesome job with the office! Everything is really shaping up for y’all! ❤

[@pixeleverafter]

Absolutely love these vlogs, Carter. Couldn't agree with you more! I love the chatty and realistic vlogs because I can totally relate 😃

[@rachelbolick]

Hey Carter, Happy Wednesday. I naturally wake up around 7:30 every morning even when I’m trying to sleep in. 😢 I love Wednesday it’s such a good show and I love her two love interests. I ship her and Xavier together they’re so cute. 😊 We all could improve our time management skills. I learned when I was in school that early means on time, on time is late, and late is very late. 😅😊 I enjoy staying at home (relaxing and resting). I am a home body and I don’t mind watching vlogs with the creator at their home. 😊🥰

[@amandadowney953]

Thanks for the free month of Skillshare. Wanna learn more of embroidery (have a ton to enjoy) and painting. You should start your own bookclub here. You always have good book recs to share. Love pancakes and bacon too. Its nice to see Matt & the dogs. Also, naturally wake up at 6. Since working 7-3 everyday. Your body alarm clock automatically gets up for the day. Thanks for sharing!!! 🤎🤎🤎

[@CarterSullivan]

@@amandadowney953 Ah yay hope you enjoy it! Honestly, if I had more time, I would start a book club 😅 I just feel like I'm juggling too much already as it is and I also have an IRL book club that is a priority to me, but maybe one day!! For now I just enjoy sharing the book recommendations in the Vlogs❤️❤️❤️

[@isabellalacy9901]

Ahh Carter!! I love this so much and you are such an inspiration to me. You are so fun to watch and I can’t wait for the holiday content to start. I love seeing your day to day life and you’re so inspiring. Ilysm and I hope you’re having an amazing day 💕

[@CarterSullivan]

Thank you so much!!

[@noraroseviljoen]

Love the mundane everyday life vlogs. 🤍

[@CarterSullivan]

More to come! They are my fav to film!!!

[@elizabeththompson1525]

Love the new jacket for $40- what a steal!! Thumb holes are elite!!

[@ellenm977]

Hi Carter, I relate to the shapes of the mug being important. The shape and the thickness of the rim haha. Love watching your vlogs. I have a fixer upper house in New Zealand so I relate to a lot of your content. Lots of love!

[@CarterSullivan]

Mug lovers Unite

[@michellevetter3740]

You have the cutest mugs for every season!

[@CarterSullivan]

Thank you! It's a collection that has been 5 years in the making- I LOVE my mugs hehe

[@kcriems4813]

I am the epitome of a homebody and your vlogs are my absolute favorite. Also, you really make me want a real espresso machine (I have/use Nespresso) cause that's the most comforting start to morning right there.

[@CarterSullivan]

It's so worth it!! We've had it for almost 3 years now and love it. Check FB marketplace- we got ours for like $300 and it retails for almost $1000! People are always selling them

[@meredithm7312]

Don’t apologize for yapping! We’re here for the yapping 💜 love these videos so much and I get so excited to see when you upload again :)

[@CarterSullivan]

Yapping queens unite!!!

[@brittlove501]

Cheers to mundane weekends 🥂

[@CarterSullivan]

HECK YEA

[@OregonGirlontheRoad]

OMG Rivals was soooooo naughty and good! I absolutely loved it.

[@chandrareaux6700]

Awesome video! I love the office it looks very nice and cozy.

[@CarterSullivan]

Thank you!! 😊

[@mariachiara1723]

Not me living in northern Italy and wearing the heavy jacket when it’s 5 degrees here 😅 -50 sounds crazy😨

[@CarterSullivan]

Honestly I feel like I'm just used to it growing up here 😅 Our last few winters have only gotten to about -20 degrees Celsius luckily

[@rachelcote7392]

Beautiful office! Love the vibes

[@CarterSullivan]

Thank you!!

[@jilliciousc5779]

My mind is blown. I thought shawarma was universally loved as a fast food. As a Canadian, shawarma and gyro are go-to faves. I feel so spoiled by the multiculturalism in our community food options. Also, love the homebody vlogs!

[@CarterSullivan]

You and I both! Matt and I always say the same thing- we love all the multicultural food options in Ottawa, so grateful for it!

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning Carter how are you happy Thursday morning to you and I enjoy your channel and you are amazing supporter

[@gaablove8054]

Got a Columbia fleece kind of like the one you're wearing from the Centre des Aubaines costco shop for 30$! I love it!

[@CarterSullivan]

Fleeces are essential for cold Canadian winters!!!

[@SarahSchneider2]

I’m like you with trying not to reach for my heavy winter coat right away because if you wear it now it won’t feel warm during the coldest part of the year.

[@CarterSullivan]

EXACTLY!!!

[@simplyellenxo95]

Its just nice to find a balance during the weekends. So we understand if you don't want to vlog during the weekends...:)

[@ntshlvr]

I love your dogs so much! The black one looks just like mine. ❤

[@CarterSullivan]

Aw love that! 🫶🏻

[@SweaterWeatherPodcast]

Hello Carter! New viewer but I’m loving your cozy vlogs. Live close to Ottawa - please share where one can buy Costco returns!!

[@CarterSullivan]

Rideau Auctions! Its a trek (even for us to get to) but worth it😊

[@SweaterWeatherPodcast]

@ thank you! 🙏

[@RebeccaABeaudoin]

Yes I'm with you!!! If I sleep more than 6/7 hours it does more harm than good 😅 people don't talk enough about the sleepy can't sleep in gals 😂

[@CarterSullivan]

@@RebeccaABeaudoin I always thought I was crazy because everyone says sleep 8 hours but it makes me feel like crap when I do🤣

[@RebeccaABeaudoin]

@ saaaaameee

[@roxannamattke1358]

Where is your light gray hoodie from? Love it!

[@CarterSullivan]

@@roxannamattke1358 abercrombie! it's the unisex essential popover hoodie! well worth the $- they have site sales all the time! i've had it for a year now, wash it weekly and i hasn't pilled at all!

[@roxannamattke1358]

@CarterSullivan i will check it out!! Thank you!!

[@thevermilionsiren]

If you can't find a pic you like let me know, I can always do a custom painting at cost (canvas cost & shipping + any colors i dont currently own). I'm currently looking for more things to branch out from just animals and dinosaurs

[@CarterSullivan]

@@thevermilionsiren I found one that works well (I shared it in the video) but thank you so much!!!!! 🥰

[@thevermilionsiren]

@CarterSullivan oh good!! I wasn't sure, this is my 3rd time watching it because my kids, as you may know from my other comments are quite a lot 🤣

[@cindicleee]

❤❤

[@sereneadair4941]

Murder road was amazing

[@CarterSullivan]

I think I'm going to read that one next!

[@laurenmw9629]

Hit the ground running!

[@CarterSullivan]

YESSSSS it was on the tip of my tongue🤣

[@actgirl1234567]

❤

[@lisaneville6155]

so weird how the ceilings are fake. like why?

[@CarterSullivan]

My only thought is they wanted lower ceilings in the kitchen for the cabinets (so they didn't have to build taller/more expensive ones) but regardless we are happy to bring back the tall 12ft ceilings to be cohesive with the rest of the house! It also will help with heating the house as alot of air gets trapped between the ceiling layers currently!
